4 Today you will read a passage from Wild River. As you read, pay close attention to the characters and setting as you answer the questions to prepare to write a narrative story. Read the passage from the novel Wild River. Then answer the questions. from Wild River by P. J. Petersen 1 We floated for a while. It was warm in the sunshine, and Tanner took off his shirt. He caught one more fish and let it go. Bigger, he said. But not big enough. 2 I looked downstream. Then I took a really good look. Tanner, I said, there s nothing but rocks up ahead. 3 He laughed and shouted, Get ready for the chute! 4 The what? 5 The chute. River gets narrow for a minute. It s like a waterslide. No big deal. Just keep going straight. 6 I glanced over my shoulder. Tanner had put down his fishing pole and picked up his paddle. 7 I could hear the roar of water. That scared me a little. It sounds like Niagara Falls, I yelled. 8 Relax, bro. It s just a little waterslide. 9 Up ahead I could see a steep cliff on one side. On the other side were big black rocks. In the middle was a little opening. I hoped our kayak would fit. 10 Keep er straight! Tanner yelled. 11 The opening was wider than I d thought at first. But I couldn t see anything past it. And the roar got louder and louder.
5 12 The nose of the kayak went straight into the opening. Then we were headed down too fast for me to do anything but hold on. We hit a pool at the bottom and shot ahead. 13 All right! Tanner yelled. 14 I glanced back. The chute didn t look very high. Or very steep. But I knew better. 15 That was awesome, Tanner said. Brady and I didn t get anything like that last year. 16 I waited a minute, then asked, Tanner, didn t that scare you? 17 Sure, he said. That s why it was fun. 18 Maybe for you, I said. I m no hero. 19 He didn t answer. He was getting out his fishing pole again. A few minutes later he hooked a fish, but it got away. I kept the kayak steady in the current. 20 Hey, Ryan, he said, that hero stuff that s garbage. The only heroes these days are in video games or comic books. 21 That s easy for you to say. I looked back at him for a second. You ran into that burning house and saved that old guy. 22 I just happened to be there. You d have done the same thing. Later on, they made a big deal about it. But it was no biggie. 23 I probably would have been too scared. 24 You d have been scared, sure. Everybody gets scared. But that wouldn t stop you. You do what you have to do. 25 Maybe, I said. But I didn t believe it. 26 We drifted along for a while. It was warm in the sun. Until some icy water splashed on me. Which happened every minute or two.
6 27 We re coming up on another chute, Tanner said. He reeled his line, then picked up his paddle. I think this one is shorter. Maybe a little steeper. 28 This time there was no cliff. Just big boulders on both sides of the river. I could hear the water roaring. The sound scared me. Maybe not as much as the first time, but I was still scared. 29 We did everything right. The kayak was straight, and we were in the middle of the river. I lifted my paddle and braced myself for the slide. 30 Hang on, buddy! Tanner yelled. 31 Just as we started down, I saw something ahead. A big black log. Right in the middle of the chute. With a jagged end pointed straight at us. And it wasn t moving. Not at all. 32 I opened my mouth to yell, but no words came out. From WILD RIVER by P. J. Petersen, copyright 2009 by P. J. Petersen.
